Sorry if I missed it, but what does R9, R10, and R14 do in the LTP CCS do?

I have the boards!!

#1 - will fill the BOM from mouser , mouser has a "shared cart" option.
I must learn the mouser way to "share" my cart (XML format) , then all the
premium parts (ha ha) that I pick will be a click away.

#2 - Since I have 4 boards (really!! ... guys) I will make 2 "flavors" of the badger...
one bjt input and one FET!!! input.

R9-10 are base stoppers to end any high gain CCS oscillation. R14 is a Douglas Self addition (read the book).

These boards are BEAUTIFUL !! I will use 2 for parties , the other 2 will be "lab'ed" to show the ultimate scope of this universal AB amp. (6 different amps on one board) ... that is how I designed it !!

Stuffing my boards right now and wanted to express a little frustration: Some of the holes are a *little* too small. I'm not sure what the hole sizes are, but...

R6 on one of my boards had to be reamed out. The lead diameter of my resistor is 0.64mm.
R43-R48 had to be reamed on both boards. My lead diameter: 1.02mm.
C8, C18, C19 - Mica caps are fairly limited on Mouser. I had to get 500V versions for these three: lead diameter of 0.8mm.

Maybe on the next board spin these could be opened up a little. This is slowing me down!

Please don't take this as complaining, just trying to help make a better product.

On the back of the HB board there's solder mask covering C18 and C19. I scraped it off with a razor blade.
There's also mask over the "C-R-Z" jumpers in the cascode.
I didn't solder in any jumpers though, because there are already traces on the top layer.

...still a few days from firing it up. hopefully not in the literal sense.

Fet input? Oh, is this perchance, an integrated buffer, so that my laptop source can produce flat non-shout midband response and really rockin bass? Well, that performance does take a buffer and integrated would be really cool.

I ran into the same issue, except with almost all my resistors..

Luckily I have access to a chemical lab at work and was able to etch the leads on the resistors instead of drilling the boards, that sped up things greatly.

"And don't put a resistor in the tail of the input stage pair "
" The notional function of the resistor in the tail was to minimize the damage if the tail current-source transistor failed short-circuit "
" The unwanted result was that these amplifiers would not work on very low rail voltages.... " Douglas Self
